these words, as true as ever We're
written:

pays the EAGLE and its editor the follow
ing handsome and highly appreciated
compliment: THE Wichita EAGLE. of
which Marshall NJ. Murdoch is the editor,
is one of the most remarkable boomers

especially devoted to the fortunes Of

1t Is announced from Washington that
the Mexican mission. recently vacated
by Gen. Henry Il. jackson. of Georgia.
will be offered to Colonel Collver. of
Nashville, Tenn. the owner Of the
American. a newspaper in that city.
Colonel ColIyer is known As the most
outSpoken champion Of protection in The
Democratic party in Tennessee. He has
gone to the very verge Of breaking with
his party on the revenue, and his atti-
tude has caused much doubt rs To the
position of that state in the presidential
campaign oC next year. This will
create the suspicion that the appoint
ment to Mexico is not 50 much to honor
hlm as to get him out Of the country Al,
critical canvass. Tennessee viii ba =
close state in 1883. and if the Democrats
adopt free trade platform. it does not
seem possible for the Nashville Ameri-
can. with the record it has made to sup
port the Democratic candidate. But
with Collyer in Mexico the suner,a,Il,
might be accomplished.

Lightning strikes in most unexpected
places. often. and 10 less so with the
electrical Iiuid than the political kind,
particularly in these times OF Demo
cratic ascendency. 1t is 50 rare that a
Union veteran OF the late war receives
recognition in appointment to official
position. that such an occurrence calls
forth involuntary expressions OF sur
prise. Maj. J. NJ. Wright of Louisville,
KY, is the last victim. He has just been

litical affiliations. the major is one of the
best of fellows, and is to be congrat-

The building of the international lines
OF railroad from the United States into
Mexico seems to have had a wonderfully
revivifying effect upon our neighboring
republic To the south. They are CATCH
ing right onto the American idea Of
inducing immigration and capital into
their country. Very little has been done
towards developing the resources of UNI
told wealth in that country, but the in
dncementS now held out by the Mexican
government to immigrants and capital
lists. if followed up by an equally liberal

While the strongest defense against
foreign attack that this nation can have
is the respect in which it is held by other
nations, based upon its character for
honorable intercourse, and rational and
peaceful adjustment Of international
differences, and indisposition to NEEDLE
with the affairs of other nations. the
respect in which it will be held would
be greatly heightened, and security
from attack increased by its ability to
resist assault And it is in the interest
of peace as well as safety to make all
reasonable provisions against attack.
There seems decided probability that
during the present session of congress
some action will be taken looking to-
wards the establishment OF coast de-

defenscs $21, 800 600 for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1891, these sums to be
expended in accordance with the recon-
mendations of the board of fertilization.
